Glad they can identify it now.

I can't remember the last time I purchased Marinara. When I make mine I like to add a bit of fennel seeds.

My WWII-vet father saved "end of war" Stars and Stripes papers. We have this politically incorrect one framed ... https://thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images1/1/0925/10/stars-stripes-extra-edition-japs-say_1_c9f6ccd4af2ca3e6484948771b50b6f5.jpg [image: 1767625968682-a4be070a-be7a-4c9d-a8c4-59950d632509-image.png] Inside is a full set of maps documenting the entire Pacific theater.

@DougG said in Meanwhile, in Venezuela: I would think this pretty much locks up the Nobel peace prize, right? It makes a mockery of the FIFA Peace Prize one might even say.

No - not sold in the US.

@RealPlayer Exactly. Except it’s best described as an eating framework. Nothing is strictly forbidden, nothing is absolutely required. Keyes wasn’t selling diet books.

I get a low dose of aspirin in my generic Excedrin. A super-healthy product, Excedrin. I kid. But you know what? Just like people say with caffeine or sugar, I'm addicted to it.

@AndyD said in 25 years into the century: Superb, the photos and article. If I can pick one photo that fascinates, the tsunami wave at Fukushima is an amazing snap. I was on a plane headed to Beijing when that happened, chaperoning a group of 20 high school students. When we landed we headed to the Olympic park straight from the airport. My first memory of being in China was a crowd of people huddled around the massive screens outside the Bird’s Nest and Water Cube, watching the news unfold. Our guide, who we met when he picked us up at the airport, was trying to navigate listening to the news story to figure out what was happening and translate it for 20 high school students without scaring them half to death. It was unnerving to be so cut off from the news with such a major event happening.

@Steve-Miller said in Anybody doing wild New Year's Eve stuff?: Remember tinsel? I remember finding it in the cats poop. Sometimes he’d walk away from the litter box with a poopy piece of tinsel hanging out his rear end. Prolly good for them that we stopped using it.

Those who forget the past...

Given the wide variety of planets in our own solar system and some even stranger moons, there seems to be alot to learn about even our solar neighborhood, let alone the flocks of exoplanets now being found. I really hope we don't curtail our exploration of the universe. If the USA is short-sighted, then at least there are other nations and entities in the search for more knowledge. Big Al
